This study describes the process pediatric nurses used to assess pain in 0- to 12-month-old infants. Qualitative analyses of open-ended interviews with 40 pediatric nurses with from 1 to 20 years of experience produced an infant pain assessment model. This model explicates a "principle of consolability" and describes how nurses apply this principle, using comfort measures, in assessing pain of preverbal infants. Because this model makes processes involved in infant pain assessment explicit, it can be useful in teaching nursing students or novice pediatric nurses and in formulating hypotheses for further study.
本研究描述了儿科护士用于评估0至12个月婴儿疼痛的过程。对40名具有1至20年经验的儿科护士进行开放式访谈的定性分析得出了一个婴儿疼痛评估模型。该模型阐述了“可安慰性原则”，并描述了护士如何运用这一原则，通过安抚措施来评估尚不能言语的婴儿的疼痛。由于该模型明确了婴儿疼痛评估所涉及的过程，它在教导护理专业学生或儿科新手护士以及为进一步研究提出假设方面可能会很有用。
